2 Samuel 10
1 Depois disso, o rei dos filhos de Amon morreu, e Hanun seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 David disse: “Eu mostrarei bondade a Hanun, o filho de Nahash, como seu pai demonstrou bondade para comigo”. Assim, David enviou seus servos para consolá-lo a respeito de seu pai. Os servos de Davi entraram na terra dos filhos de Amon.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 Mas os príncipes das crianças de Ammon disseram a Hanun, seu senhor: “Você acha que David honra seu pai, por ter enviado consoladores para você? David não lhe enviou seus servos para revistar a cidade, para espioná-la e derrubá-la?”
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4 Então Hanun pegou os criados de David, raspou uma metade da barba e cortou suas roupas no meio, até as nádegas, e os mandou embora.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Quando disseram isso a David, ele os mandou ao encontro, pois os homens estavam muito envergonhados. O rei disse: “Espere em Jericó até que suas barbas tenham crescido, e depois volte”.
When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 Quando os filhos de Amon viram que tinham se tornado odiosos para David, os filhos de Amon enviaram e contrataram os sírios de Beth Rehob e os sírios de Zobah, vinte mil homens de pé, e o rei de Maaca com mil homens, e os homens de Tob, doze mil homens.
When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 Quando David soube disso, enviou Joab e todo o exército dos homens poderosos.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
8 Os filhos de Amon saíram e ordenaram a batalha na entrada do portão. Os sírios de Zobah e de Rehob e os homens de Tob e Maacah estavam sozinhos no campo.
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
9 Agora, quando Joab viu que a batalha foi travada contra ele antes e depois, ele escolheu entre todos os homens escolhidos de Israel e os colocou em ordem contra os sírios.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians.
10 O resto do povo que ele comprometeu na mão de Abishai, seu irmão; e ele os pôs em ordem contra os filhos de Amon.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 Ele disse: “Se os sírios forem fortes demais para mim, então vocês me ajudarão; mas se os filhos de Amon forem fortes demais para vocês, então eu virei e os ajudarei.
He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Seja corajoso e sejamos fortes por nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus; e que Yahweh faça o que lhe parece bom”.
Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”
13 Então Joab e as pessoas que estavam com ele se aproximaram da batalha contra os sírios, e fugiram antes dele.
So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
14 Quando as crianças de Amon viram que os sírios haviam fugido, também fugiram antes de Abishai, e entraram na cidade. Então Joab voltou dos filhos de Amon e veio para Jerusalém.
When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
15 Quando os sírios viram que foram derrotados por Israel, eles se reuniram.
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 Hadadezer enviou e trouxe os sírios que estavam além do rio; e eles vieram para Helam, com Shobach o capitão do exército de Hadadezer à sua frente.
Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 David foi informado disso; e ele reuniu todo Israel, passou pelo Jordão e veio a Helam. Os sírios se colocaram em ordem contra Davi e lutaram com ele.
David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with him.
18 Os sírios fugiram diante de Israel; e David matou setecentos cocheiros dos sírios e quarenta mil cavaleiros, e atingiu Shobach, o capitão do exército deles, de modo que ele morreu lá.
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
19 Quando todos os reis que eram servos de Hadadezer viram que tinham sido derrotados diante de Israel, fizeram as pazes com Israel e os serviram. Então os sírios tiveram medo de ajudar mais as crianças de Amon.
When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
